- Keep it clean to keep it safe. When you’re towing a trailer, the side mirrors need to be pristine since everything you know about the road to the side and behind you is coming from them. Any dirt or grease on them that obscures your view must be cleaned off promptly if you want to stay safe.
- Go (and know) the distance. When your mirrors are adjusted properly, you should be able to see at least 200 feet behind you. That’s about 16 or 17 car lengths.
- Keep the trailer’s front corners visible. You should be able to see the front corners of your trailer in the towing mirrors if they are properly adjusted.
